Vedclass · Answer

(A) Brood parasitism is a fascinating example of parasitism in birds in which the parasitic bird lays its eggs in the nest of its host and lets the host incubate them.During the course of evolution,the eggs of the parasitic bird (e.g.,Cuckoo) have evolved to resemble the host's eggs in size and color to reduce the chances of the host bird detecting and ejecting the foreign eggs.In this case,the Cuckoo ($Cuculus$ $canorus$) lays its eggs in the nest of the Crow ($Corvus$ $splendens$),which is a classic example of brood parasitism.
